I’m yet to see how this holds up long term but I’m really pleased with its look compared to the photos. My photos don’t do it much justice. The black is as dark as it should be and while waterproof, the material isn’t flimsy or cheap looking. My only issue was the use of white thread all around which made it look less nice. Looking closer at the product photos, I can see that the white thread shows in those, so can’t dock a star for that. I used a black permanent marker to color the thread on the black part and that solved it. I’ve attached photos.
